Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debra Messing and Candice Bergen are all in for the remake of the 1939 classic The Women.

The film is about a "group of gossipy, high-society women who spend their days at the beauty salon and fashion shows."

Director Diane English has spent more than 10 years trying to get the project going. The Women has a tiny budget of less than $20 million, according to Daily Variety. The 1939 original was directed by George Cukor and starred Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford.
